The Showroom This is the place to show off your BMW to other members of the community. Post pictures and videos of your car and the modifications you have done to it. If you need a picture of something on a coupe, sedan, convertible or touring you will probably find it here!

it's not turbo tho. With that body kit you should be able to kill at least an s2000/m3 etc..it's stock 2003 with 275 bhp. I believe you lose 15% which makes it 235 @wheel...that's not too much these days.

Oh, definitely overselling what it is, but I mean, just at a glance driving down the road, I would look, go "pretty sharp" and be on my way. A lot of non-enthusiasts wouldn't even know any different. Personally would've put some under the hood before the kit. I mean, it's not like they're bad to look at when stock, but...who knows, maybe he has plans for power (HAHA I kill me! But hey, it COULD happen...). The wheels tho...I'm not one to normally care about the sizes, but those just look out of place to me. To me, I can't really classify it as rice, so much as backward priorities. MUCH worse out there, for sure lol

true, but I hope he gets to work under the hood. the car has some potential.

Maybe I'm failing to see the rice factor? Blacked out, not my thing, and whatnot. But again, rice? Someone wasn't kidding when they said the definition has gotten really lax lately lol. Maybe more on that that I can see tho?

Maybe the Honda muffler doesn't show in the pic. I haven't seen it on the "big" screen yet. Didn't mean to offend. The exhaust note caught my ear.

Can BARELY make it out now that I look for it, sure didn't see it at first. Overall, the car isn't QUITE ricey to me, but that would annoy the hell outta me to have that go by. It's like, I understand some things, but goes to show how one little thing can easily turn people off. Mainly those cans. lol.
